tables were filed with baskets, each of
which contained luncheon for two--a pro-

1t was somewhat amusing to watch the ex-
pectant faces as they "peeked" into the
basket to find the name of the fair lady
who was to share their lot at least so far as
the contents of the basket were concerned.
Judging from appearances, each was well
satisfied with his lot, although some of the
boys who had faced the lannon's mouth
showed signs of embarrassment as they
walked up to the fair lady whose name was
found in their basket. Much credit is due

rendered the old patriotic songs; and on the

added much to the patriotism of this local

the OCCASION and the art gallery, conducted
by Revs. Clapp and Pangburn, brought out
an unusual amount of mirth. Among the
